Locus
of control in students from Japan and the United States: Dimensions
and levels of response
M.H. Bond & L.G. Tornatzky |
Rotter's
(1966) I-E scale was administered to male and female university students
in Japan and the United States. As predicted, students from Japan
scored in a more external direction than students from the United
States. The responses were cluster analyzed, revealing the existence
of two reliable clusters in each sub-group. In accordance with previous
research, these clusters seemed to tap dimensions of generalized
personal control and system modifiability.
